Set up and configure our DBMS of choice, MYSQL, to store and manage data. Additionally setup user credentials validation and reset MySQL default users, databases, etc.
sudo apt install -y mysql-server
After installation, it's recommended to purge some insecure default settings and lock down access to the database system. The first thing we should do is set a password for the root
password (using mysql_native_password as our default authentication method**)** as by default it has none - a huge security risk.
